    We’ve seen a big reaction to our poor attempt at humour in this tweet. So to be fair, Arsene Wenger is of course one of the most successful managers in English football with many medals and trophies to his name, having won 3 league titles, 7 FA Cups and 7 Community Shields.https://twitter.com/BBCAfrica/status/1033019910283255809 …

        Shocking in understatement. Very unprofessional journalism. Im a Chelsea fan but wont stand for rubbish from BBC. Arsene is legend and should be respected even more.

        BBC Standards have really slipped. Stop pretending it was humour. Just another stupid attempt at clickbait and fake news. Stop channelling Trump!!!

        Sad that we live in a world where you say a stupid thing and apologise not because it's wrong but because of the reaction towards it.

        Adding that “we therefore regret our earlier statement” and deleting it would be the right thing to do

        You call this attempted humor? Since when did the BBC become comedians? Stick to news delivery not stand up comedy outlet! Too much stupidity
